Changes to my study program

Actually, i would not change much of my studies program. Im not saying my studies program is excelent but its ok. I think its according to the demand for this prestigious university. So, there are certain small changes i would like to make in my studies. One of these changes would be to organize the days to understand the deliveries and dont have up 4 deliveries in a day.

Actually, I agree with my program of studies. I think it is a good way to study architecture in a lineal and understandable way, theorically.  Anyway, i would like to eliminate Maths and Physics haha. Really, im very bad at math subjetcs, but i love theoretical and subjects where i have to write and read books about architecture or similar topics.

In my opinion, the subjects with obligatory assistance are the worst thing  in my program studies because sometimes we have another important things to do, like papers, presentations, deliveries for workshop, etc. So, i really hate these subjects but i love workshop because i can do anything i would like to make and the lecturer can correct my projects and give me ideas.

So if i have to choose any change in the carrer, i would to eliminate maths or some similar subject about sciences or maths things.

Moebius, the artist i would like to meet

The person I would like to meet is "moebius". This guy, called "Jean Giraud" is an illustrator and cartoonist, knowned as the father of the European comic, pioneer in science fiction comics in the 70s and 80s. Thanks to his comic, was considered a great French philosopher.

My brother, when I was 13 years old, showed me a couple of comic books in which Moebius's illustrates the comic called "The Hermetic Garage". Since at that time I did not have enough capacity to understand the history of this comic, so i only guided me by his drawings, which I found a masterpiece of the comic. I dreamed to be like this person because his drawings were magnificent.
Then, when I turned 17, I saw a Moebius cartoon in a bookstore. I buy this comic and read it. This comic is called The Incal, and its story is really fascinating, although moebius is not its original writer.

 

The moebius works are based on surrealism and science fiction, where his work of architecture and the human figure, which is worked with the technique of pointillism and high contrast. Another characteristic of moebius' work is the close relationship it maintains with rocky planets and ruins, which are frequently presented in their works. Although "moebius" died on March 12, 2012, I would like to meet him in life and thus be an apprentice of his work, since he is a master of both drawing and the philosophy he constantly applies in his drawings. Also, this person is a reference in the drawing for me, because their drawings are works of art, the technique and resources used by "Moebius" are of a high level in the world of European art

Favorite singer

I dont have any favorite singer or band but i really like "Oathbreaker". Oathbreaker is a band who come from Ghent, East Flanders, Belgium. They was formed in 2008 by his 4 members, Lennart Bossu,  Gilles Demolder, Ivo Debrabandere, and Caro Tanghe. They plays a similar music genre to "Deafheaven", this genre its a mix of another musical styles like hardcore, post hardcore (a melodic branch of hardcore), black metal, post black metal, screamo, and noise. This band is characterized by the Higher pitched screams performed by Caro Tanghe, vocalist of the group.



The heavy and noisy style its my favourite thing about this band. Musically, i like oathbreaker because their sound altought its noisy, mantains melodic lines, wich generates a tetric atmosphere wich contrast with the rhythm breaks presents in their songs. Also, Oathbreaker uses a fast drum rhythm wich i love because the fast music its my favourite genres.

When i listen oathbreaker by first time, i remember i was 16 years old and an old friend showed it to me. When i listen the song "The Abys Looks Into me" i fall in love with this band because i never hear a sound like this because when i was 16, i only hear heavy metal or thrash metal bands like "Satan", "Slayer", "Kreator". 

Another thing i like about the band is the album covers, because this art reflect all the feels that emerge from the album. A good example its their last album called "Rheia". Rheia show a pair of hands under a cloth simulating a dense smoke that reflects the human feelings that are going through the time like the smoke.

 

Radal 7 tazas, best vacation ever

In those holidays, me and my family went to radal 7 tazas in the seventh region.

We went to this place because there our whole family meets to celebrate the holidays and we camped outdoors for a week.
I went with my mother and her couple but there in radal my cousins, uncles and grandparents waited for us to eat something and then go out and see the place. We meet "valle del indio" and "velo de la novia", a beautifull waterfall hide in the forest and this is aNational park. In which park, we should move with caution because normally to enter must pay an expensive card wich was a little paper with a waterfall draw.
We move out principally in a bus but there in the camp we move out and goes out to see the place walking and sometimes in my aunt’s car.
The travel was a bit weird because the trip was a little bored, this is because in the way we cant see anything interesting or beautifull, but when we arrived to the camp everything changes. I saw so much trees, a beautifull crystal river where we swimming with my cousins and my mom.
When we goes to "velo de la novia", we meet a nice family who walked with us and later, they move out to our camp. These people now are our friends and we every year goes together to the camp

Blogs, My experience

Although blogging has been a bit tedious, the truth is that they have helped a lot to improve my English. Sometimes when I had to write one in the previous semester, I thought it was just to fill the subject, but now that I have seen a significant improvement in my writing I have realized that it is not a filler, it is a help.

These blogs can be something I would like to share, like personal feels, favorite bands or something like that, or a place I would like to visit. In my opinion the blogs are a good way to learn English with the technology, because if you don’t know any word, you only write that word in any translator or wordreference and correct the text or something necessary to makes sense in the sentences.

I would like to know another way to learn English with the technology, like tests involving alternatives, make videos about something interesting, talks about science or biology or translate songs to Spanish and English too.

I think another good point about the blogs it’s the time we used to write this, because it’s so little and in architecture, the time its very, VERY IMPORTANT to work haha.

Postgraduate Studies

Okay, this is a bit difficult to write because by now I’m studing architecture and haven't finished my career yet. Sometimes I think about the future and I would like to continue my studies but not here in Chile, because I want to travel to France or any European country, and I have some cultural and personal reasons for this, and it’s because I like so much the culture and the people (the style of life they have, etc.) 

If you ask me why I want to continue my studies I have a simple reason for answering that question, because I think the human never finishes learning, there is too much for growing up our mind. so i like to study (not study literally) and learn about something I’m interesting, like design, arts, philosophy, topics like existentialism or something similar to these subjects. 

When some people talks about the postgraduate studies, I feel uncertainty because in the future I have to work or dedicate the time in my hobbies or the stuffs I like, so if I have to do any postgraduate studies I think I will take some part-time course or any other similar education system. 

In FAU, there is a post grade diploma called “sustainable architecture” and some academics studies. That is because in this country we need efficiency and the sustainability in architecture, so… I would like to take those studies but not here in Chile, on the contrary, I want to go out and stay in some European country (like France or Germany)

Future Job

Since I was 5 years old i like drawing and painting every day after school with my dad, because he is an artist and I really want to be like him in the future (morally and professionally speaking).  If I have to choose a job I want aspire to work in any editorial or something like that in the future.

I have an enthralling feel when I think in this future job, because I desire to dedicate my life to the drawings and the paintings. I imagine my study illuminated with big windows and everything made of wood. A lot of Notebooks with sketches, few desks with a lot of buckets full of pens, pencils, markers, etc.

 But the essential part is if I want to work an dedicate my entire life to this, isn’t the money, is the passion for this job because I can work in an architectural sphere and this means a new income but my childhood dream is to do something associated with arts. In conclusion the zeal to be an artist come from my parents because they both everyday helps me and give me tips when I want to start a new draw or new paint
